Take a look at this layout: http://webhost.bridgew.edu/etribou/layouts/skidoo/lean/index.html
The side columns are sized in ems.

Hi,
I've been looking at the em-based layout used in the Elastic Lawn entry on css Zen Garden - http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/063/063.css&page=0
I like the idea of the whole thing resizing when the size of text is increased.
Has any one done a 3-col, em-based layout? May be with a fixed width (or min-width) main content area? Can the columns be floated or do they have to be absoluteIy-positioned? I don't want the layout to resize when the browser window is resized, only if the user increases the text size in their browser.
Can Holly and Johns Piefecta 3-col Layout be reworked to use the elastic em-based method?
Basically, I want to rework the site (which I still haven't finished) www.vandevelde.co.uk - I got into a bit of a muddle and I think it could be improved, especially as things seem to be going wrong on IE - surprise, surprise - both on Mac and PC.
I'm afraid I'm one of those people that learn from example, I need to see something working then rip it apart and rebuild.
Any pointers would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Tracy
